hi
i dont think ping is associated with any port like echo(port 7).
ping uses ICMP which operates at n/w layer and port number creeps in
only at the tranport layer,so --dport option cannot be used to allow ping
another reason for ping not working is
probly
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/icmp_echo_ignore_all
is set to 1
echo "0" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/icmp_echo_ignore_all
will be fruitful
happy tweaking

[as solution to ping not working on firewalled machine]
this may work, but is rather broad. presumably, the machine is firewalled
for a reason. this essentially removes icmp from all the firewalling
rules. if someone could point at the icmp ping 'port', the above command
can be modified to open only that 'port' by using an appropriate -s (or
--destination-port) option.

Is there any BSD guys out there,
Hi,
Is there any BSD guys out there, I need a help I am
using a RH 7.1 Linux with gnu Make. I have c programm
with a makefile for BSD. I need to install the
programm in my RH linux. The problem is when I try to
run "make all install" with Makefile provided with the
program the system returns an error obvious because it
is taking default gnumake. I want know what are the
files I have to install in my RH for running the BSD
makefile.
Is there any seprate BSD makefile which I could
download. please help me with the location.
regards
Boney Jose
